Now duplicate your Sand layer one more time & position where it is needed.

Once you have all your Sand elements where you need them, go to your layers pallet - right click on your top sand layer - then click Merge - Merge Down. Then on your next Sand layer - right click - Merge - Merge Down.

Most times I apply a gradient glow to my copyright/credit information so that it stands out a bit more. If you would like to do that as well, go to Effects - click Plugins - Eye Candy 5 Impact - Gradient Glow.

You can use my settings below or your own.-

Now you might want to save your tag as a PSP file if you intend on making it for friends/family as well at a later time.

Now click inside each letter of your name until ALL letters have the "marching ants" around them. Depending on the font that you have used you may not have to click inside each letter. Some script fonts when they connect and you click on letter it will select them all. Also if you have an "i" in your name, make sure you also select the dot above your i. :-)

Once all letters are selected go -

Effects - Plugins - Eye Candy 5 Impact - Glass

You can use my settings below or your own -

Click Ok.

Keep your letters selected -

Now go to Adjust - click Add/Remove Noise - then click Add Noise -

Set to Uniform , 30 & make sure your Monochrome box is checked, then click Ok.

Selections & click Select None.

Go to Edit - click Copy Special - then click Copy Merged.

Go to Animation Shop -

Right click in the grey work area - then click Paste As

New Animation.

Go back to PSP -

Click your Undo button 2 times -

Now go to Animation Shop -

Right click inside Frame 1 that you just put there.

Click Paste - then click After Current Frame.

Go back to your PSP -

This time change your settings to 40 then click Ok.

Selections - Select None.

Go to Animation Shop -

Right click inside of Frame 2 - then click Paste - then click After Current Frame.

You should now have 3 animation frames.

Now view your animation to make sure you are happy with it.

Then activate your crop tool in your Animation Shop -

Crop off any canvas that you did not use. Once you have your crop outlined, then double click inside of your cropped box. That will make your crop activate.

Now if you need to re-size your sig you can do that now.

(For new to animation shop tut followers - to re-size in Animation Shop - On your keyboard, press your Shift & S keys , that will open your re-size menu. Then set it to pixels then the size you need. I re-sized mine to 650 pixels, but if you need it a different size just type in the size that you need. :-)

Then all that is left is for you to save your signature as a GIF file & you have completed this tutorial!!♥
